I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless
I don't want to smell you and lose my senses
And smile in slow motion

With eyes in love

I twist like a corkscrew

The sweetness rising
I drink from the bottle, weeping
Why won't you last?

Why can't you last

So i will walk without care

Beat my snare
Look like a man who means business
Go to all the poshest places

With their familiar faces
Terminate all signs of weakness
Oh, all for the sake of a foolish love


I will take my coffee black
Never snack

Hang with the wolves who are sheepish
Flow through the veins of town
Always frown

Me and my mistress, the princess
Oh, all for the sake of a foolish love


So the day noah's ark floats down park
My eyes will be simply glazed over
Or better yet

I'll wear shades on sunless days
And when the sun's out, i'll stay in and slumber
Oh, all for the sake of a foolish love

All for the sake of a foolish love

Cause i don't want to hold you and feel so helpless

I don't want to smell you and lose my senses
And smile in slow motion
With eyes in love
